flag San Francisco sues major food companies over addictive, ultra-processed foods linked to health crises.

flag San Francisco has sued Kraft, Coca-Cola, and other major food companies, alleging they knowingly marketed addictive, ultra-processed foods that contribute to obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases, violating California’s public nuisance and false advertising laws. flag The city claims these products, which make up over 70% of the U.S. food supply, were promoted through deceptive tactics similar to those used by the tobacco industry, disproportionately harming low-income and minority communities. flag Seeking restitution and a court order to halt harmful practices, the lawsuit marks the first of its kind by a U.S. city, backed by a global review linking ultra-processed foods to widespread health damage.
